RE: Sula's Sketchbook - Kimonas - 01-15-2015
DAyum, that last portrait is so cool - i love the soft tones and brushes! Great to see that you are working real hard. May i ask, do you still find it useful to do line work practice on a daily basis or do you exclusively work with form only these days?
RE: Sula's Sketchbook - Ursula Dorada - 01-18-2015
@Smrr: haha thank you <3 I'm trying. It's still a bit awkward, but it's better :)
@Kimonas: thanks man <3 Yeah, actually, I DO use lines and I had just made the decision to go back to pencil for sketches - and give digital sketching a rest. (which gave me trouble because I'm on the middle of a huge client project and my scanner just died). I love lines and they are a bit less awkward when done traditionally, so I'm going to investigate with that helps in the end.
Here is a quick sketch, sort of a study of how Mike Azevedo works:

That is some sexy yellow background right there. If I may offer a small critique, I don't, however, think the violet/indigo should be so saturated. It might look more atmospheric if it was just a touch duller (if the yellow ambient light affected the rest of the colours, not just the backlit areas)

@Patrick: thanks man! Fixed it on the original post :)
Here is today's soul-searching thingy

RE: Sula's Sketchbook - Ursula Dorada - 01-25-2015
@Smrr: :hug: thank you :D I'm having so fun studying all the different subjects. Today it was snakes, made me want to draw dragons haha
@Caisne: Thanks bro! I'm not sure when I'll be able to post those, but if I know the author he won't take long before previewing thing. So March-ish? I still have a bunch to go, so it's going to be a full ride until June, actually :)
@Maggie: thank you <3
A bit of sketching to unload after work, listening to that Joseh Campbell video Amitt linked.
Still trying to be more artful with value decisions.

RE: Sula's Sketchbook - pnate - 01-28-2015
Juicy stuff as always :) Excited to see that freelance work! How dare you tease us.
RE: Sula's Sketchbook - Lyraina - 02-04-2015
Ooh what a tease! So curious to see more of that client work!
I don’t think anyone will ever mind you dropping anything here, haha :) I feel like you’re really getting a grip on your edge work now - getting a nice mix of strokes and crispness in your work.
RE: Sula's Sketchbook - Ursula Dorada - 02-06-2015
@Meat: haha yep! Angry bacon painting incoming :p
@Pnate: :hug: thanks bro!
@Lyraina: <3 Yay! Thank you!
Here is today's study that turned into something else.
I ended up testing how far I can push it out of the direct ref without it breaking.
I'm a bit worried about being too airbrushy, but I like the effect in the end.

I like that last landscape you got there in the lastest post, feelin the "less is more", also with that grainy texture almost looks like it was traditional.
